Between 1961 and 1989, the Berlin Wall prevented East Berliners escaping Soviet control and finding liberty in the West.
But despite the tanks, attack dogs, death strips and tripwires that surrounded the wall, a brave few remained undeterred in their fight for freedom.
Marking the 20th anniversary of the fall of the Berlin Wall, this documentary meets those whose desperation led them to dig under the wall, hide in cars, fly over it in a hot-air balloon, and even surf around it.
Featuring interviews with former border guards, politicians and spies, the full impact of the divide and the repercussions around its fall are poignantly captured in this insightful film.
